The Western Force dominate the Australian Barbarians team named on Sunday to take on England in Perth on Tuesday night.

The Super 14 team has five players in the starting XV for the match at ME Bank Stadium, with flanker Matt Hodgson and prop Pek Cowan to back up from Saturday night's 49-3 Test win over Fiji.

Fullback James O'Connor, winger Nick Cummins and blindside flanker Ben McCalman are the other Force players named in the team for the midweek match against the English.

Tuesday's match is the first of two between the Australian Barbarians and England.

Cummins and McCalman are two of five players who are uncapped at international level in the Barbarians run on side, with Reds trio Anthony Faingaa, Will Chambers and Laurie Weeks the other rookies selected.

NSW pair Damien Fitzpatrick and Kane Douglas along with Reds prop James Slipper are the three uncapped players named on the bench for the match.

Australian Sevens captain Pat McCutcheon is also included among the substitutes as coach Robbie Deans makes good on his intention to give all of the players in his 40-man squad a playing opportunity within the first week of the international season.

Hooker Huia Edmonds, who made his Test debut against Fiji on Saturday, is one of eight players included in the Barbarians line-up who were involved in that Test, but the only one in the starting XV who also started against Fiji.

Halfback Luke Burgess and fullback Kurtley Beale, who have both been named on the bench, are the other two players in the Barbarians squad who started for Australia against Fiji.

2008 Wallabies rookie of the year Peter Hynes has been selected on the bench after being omitted from last night's Test squad as he completed his rehabilitation from a minor knee operation.

Brumbies captain Stephen Hoiles re-enters the international fold for the first time since the most recent of his 16 Test caps, which was earned in the second Test against France at Brisbane in 2008.

Hoiles is one of two co-captains that have been named for the Barbarians, sharing that role with Waratahs five-eighth Berrick Barnes.

Australian Barbarians team: James O'Connor, Nick Cummins, Will Chambers, Anthony Faingaa, Lachie Turner, Berrick Barnes (co-capt), Josh Valentine, Stephen Hoiles (co-capt), Matt Hodgson, Ben McCalman, Mark Chisholm, Mitchell Chapman, Laurie Weeks, Huia Edmonds, Pekahou Cowan. Res: Damien Fitzpatrick, James Slipper, Kane Douglas, Pat McCutcheon, Luke Burgess, Kurtley Beale, Peter Hynes.
